Extract Wildcards

[m1ngle]

Hello;

I am having trouble extracting a file using a wildcard in the name. The support documentation says that it is supported, but I am failing every time.

When I use C:\Users\mingle\Documents\3186\3186_0515_Send.zip in the File to Unzip line, the task works fine.

When I use C:\Users\mingle\Documents\3186\3186_*.zip it does not.

Do you have any idea how to make it general?

Thanks

Matt

You can do this by using File Loop.
Look at the example below:

Code: Select all

Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Hello Oleg;

Thanks for the solution. It worked great. I only needed to change the destination folder and all files extracted correctly.
